Red ripple peperomias are one of my favourite varieties of peperomia plant. They look great in your home, and are easy to take care of. If you already have a red ripple peperomia, why not use your plant to make more? This red ripple peperomia propagation guide will go over how to propagate a red ripple peperomia.
Step 1: Take a cutting of your peperomia
The first step is to take a cutting of your red ripple peperomia. Cut a stem near its base. That’s all you need! No need to worry about leaf nodes with this type of plant.
Step 2: Put your cutting in water
The next step in red ripple peperomia propagation is to place your cutting in water. After a while, hopefully you will notice new growth at the bottom of the stem. This is the beginning of your new plant! Remember that it is never a guarantee that a propagation will succeed- you may want to take a few cuttings to increase your chances of success.
Step 3: Plant your cutting
The final step is to plant your cutting in soil! You want to plant it so that the new growth is above the soil. Eventually, your original leaf will likely die, and your new leaves will continue to grow. After planting, I would recommend keeping the soil moist for the first couple weeks. This helps the cutting transition from water to soil. After this, you can switch to a normal watering schedule for a red ripple peperomia!
I hope this guide of how to propagate a red ripple peperomia is helpful! Don’t get discouraged if it doesn’t succeed the first time. In my opinion, the red ripple peperomia is trickier to propagate than most plants. Good luck!
